Tired of fixing lousy engineering.
Ok gents, here's a 10 bolt that I rebuilt in December 2016, 45k miles ago. Serviced it today (not the first oil swap its had).
Gears are Motive gear 4.10 with an Eaton Trutrac. No regrets on either purchase.
The truck drives fine. The rear end has a minor "hooooooooo" sound from 50-60 but it's done that since day 1 and I'm the only one that notices it.
I have a vibration at around 60 that I still think is an unbalanced tire (tire shop has balanced it twice and claims it's OK) but the vibration never happened prior to the tire swap.
So on the ring gear I did notice these unusual tiger stripes. Pics show everything after spraying down with brake cleaner, so the teeth look dry. Anyone see the tiger stripes? Look suspicious to anyone?
Oil looked fine, it was about 2 years old, still green. I did find a small amount of silver glitter in the bottom of the diff but not enough to "feel", just saw a little on my finger after dragging the bottom of the pumpkin
